Fulbrights Soaring, Grad School Apps Up Too
Monday November 2, 2009
Well, we may still end up with a nation of unemployed 20somethings, but at least they'll be a really well-educated jobless group. According to Inside Higher Ed this weekend, grad school and Fulbright apps are up, wayyy up. Fulbright fellowships are US State Department-sponsored grants that send 1,500 college grads to study, teach or do research in 140 different foreign countries and by last week, some 8,500 students - 1,000 more than last year - had sent in their 2010-11 applications. Grad school applications are soaring too and Teach for America has never been so popular. Certainly seems like a good way to spend one's time, when there are so few jobs to be had. How's your new college grad faring?
